Sunday Funday from Italy!

I arrived in Italy earlier this week and have been enjoying the beautiful scenery at the Amalfi coast! This is my first time to the Amalfi coast and I already think I need to come back again soon! I'm staying at this amazing villa that we got on Airbnb, in the town of Amalfi. As you may know, the "Amalfi Coast" consists of many little towns, one of which is actually named Amalfi. It's about a 30 minute ferry ride from the most famous and touristy town, Positano. But I actually like the vibe in Amalfi better. It's very small but quite nice and relaxed. You don't feel like you have to fight the crowd so much, but it's still very lively. The people are so nice and the food and wine are great. I also feel like I can eat more since I've been walking and climbing so many stairs here lol!

So, other than taking day trips to different towns here, I've been just relaxing at the beach and villa! Our Airbnb host is so awesome. She gave us a huge welcome pack with different wine, limoncello, cured meat, bread, pasta, fruits and vegetables. Her wine was so good, when we asked her where we could get more, she insisted on coming by- and then showed up with 10 bottles LOL! Needless to say, we've been drinking a lot of wine at the villa. 6 bottles down, 4 more to go!

Here are some photos I've taken of different places here! There is really beauty everywhere you look!

This is along the walk from the villa to Amalfi town. The cliffs are so steep!

It takes like 1000 steps (not even kidding) to get down to the beach- such a workout! When we were there, we saw this yacht in the below picture which looked so impressive that we had to google it. Turns out, it is actually the second largest yacht ever built called the Maltese Falcon. Crazy!

Capri island - definitely recommend at least a day trip there. It's very beautiful and a little bit more high end.

The blue grotto on Capri is this amazing grotto that you pay a lot of money to get into lol ($13 + tip per person for a 3 minute boat ride). It does look super cool though. If you go all the way there, you might as well just pay it lol. The sunlight hits the water in a way that makes the water a magical aqua color. There are long lines to see this too. Such a great money maker.

Why does time go by so fast while you are on vacation? I wish it would never end!

So anyway, I do have some outfit pictures from earlier this week too. I got in a yoga class before I flew out! Unfortunately I haven't really been able to take any ootd pics in Italy. I've been too busy relaxing to even think about it lol.
